The rockets on a cell phone satellite provide a thrust of 12,000N. If the mass of the satellite is 15,000kg, What will be the resulting acceleration?

a = F/m

Thank you

To find the resulting acceleration, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration (F = m * a).

Given:
Force (F) = 12,000 N
Mass (m) = 15,000 kg

We can rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration (a) by dividing both sides of the equation by the mass:

a = F / m

Substituting the given values:

a = 12,000 N / 15,000 kg

Calculating this will give us the resulting acceleration:

a = 0.8 meters per second squared (m/s²)

So, the resulting acceleration of the satellite with the given thrust and mass is 0.8 m/s².
